Exhibitions at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond

October 2nd, 2023 by Joyner Fine Properties

Visual Arts Center of Richmond

In 2022, Thrillist included Richmond on their list of "Great American Cities for Creatives." One of the reasons is the Visual Arts Center, where the declared mission is, "Art for everyone. Creativity for life." Learn more about art and the world around us at these upcoming exhibits and events taking place just minutes from Richmond homes for sale.

Scavenger Deities
In a world where conservation and eco-awareness has become increasingly important, Scavenger Deities is a particularly timely collection. Installation artist Rachel Schmidt, based in Washington, DC, used museum waste and other discarded items as her raw materials. Inspired by traumas triggered by the pandemic, Schmidt created works based on the themes of loss, healing, and the promise of the future. Animals take center stage as the main subjects, with their natural abilities serving as a conduit for healing. Scavenger Deities runs through Sunday, October 22.
VisArts Chili Throwdown
Feed body and soul at the annual VisArts Chili Throwdown. Sample fall's favorite dish in a variety of styles as contributed by several of Richmond's top restaurants, including Royal Pig, 821 Cafe, and TBT El Gallo. Jury members will conduct a blind taste test to determine the winners. Adult admission includes a one-of-a-kind handmade ceramic bowl created by a VisArts clay artist along with a full pour of chili and one drink ticket. There will also be live music as well as beer and wine for purchase. Get ready to throw down on Friday, October 6 from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. Admission is $30 for adults and $5 for ages 3-11.
Self Adjacent
Multi-media artists share their perspectives on a universal experience with Self Adjacent. Works in this group exhibit look at the transformative power of parenthood and how numerous factors make this global human state deeply personal at the same time. Media used in the exhibit include photography, painting, textiles, and sculpture. The Visual Arts Center will be the debut location for the exhibition, which runs from November 10, 2023 through January 7, 2024. There will be an opening reception from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 10, followed by a live performance from some of the artists at 1 p.m. the next day.
Studio Access Resident Exhibition
Could the career of the next Jackson Pollock or Helen Frankenthaler be launched right here in Richmond? View the works of some exciting new voices in art at the Studio Access Resident Exhibition. Art on display represents 15 artists who took place in the Studio Access Residency Program during the period between Fall 2021 and Winter 2022. The exhibit is scheduled for October 27-29.
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2024
Creative expression has no age limit. VisArts takes part in recognizing the next generation of artists with the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2024. Students in grades 7-12 are eligible for the Scholastic Awards in Central Virginia. This program is the longest-running and most prestigious of its kind in the United States.
